WSDIA was asked to create environmental graphics in the 12,000 sf Manhattan office of international research company Hall & Partners. The goal was to create a visual representation of research at its core: systems, facts, statistics, and analysis. From there, the concept turned into an interpretation of Network Mapping—a graphic representation of the physical connectivity of the internet. Originally founded and written by Barrett Lyon of The Opte Project in 2003, network mapping began as a way to trace the internet over the course of one day, through a single computer. It has since expanded to broader capabilities, detecting results of human communities such as organizations, social groups, industries, economies, voting systems and tendencies, natural disasters, weather cycles and wars.

WSDIA created 118 network clusters by inputting data that gave each piece unique visual characteristics through color, shape, and density. While some walls in the office show a family of connected clusters, others focus on the beauty and grand scale of an individual cluster.
